A few nights ago, I had a dream that I was engaged in sexual behavior with another woman that was not my wife. In fact, it felt like I was in a porn movie. It was a quick dream, but when I woke up, I felt bad about it. I prayed to God that I did not intend to dream stuff like that, and that I was sorry if I had sinned in my sleep. Before I found God, I did watch porn online, but not anymore. I guess my mind was so corrupt, some of these images still linger.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
Am I sinning in my dreams?

That could be all it is. We have no control over our dreams that we have while we are asleep. To me, sin is something that you do consciously.
Another thought that may or may not apply is that frequently the Lord gives us dreams about adultery in order to get us to understand spiritual adultery. If you are no longer looking at porn and you are being completely pure in your thoughts and in guarding what you take into your mind and you are being completely faithful to your wife so that you are certain that God is not pointing out a conscious sin in your life of that nature, then I would definitely examine before the Lord if he is talking with you about your relationship with him, i.e. if he sees you as committing spiritual adultery against him with "another woman" - could be anything.

As Creation we create our own dreams, Such Dreams Mirror our lives. I have had many such dreams, I know they are fake, and I ignore them. On the Cross, Jesus said it was
Finished. Your Created Dreams are Finished. Please Meditate on the word, " Finished ".
Maybe than you will understand.

sorry
i wrote something but didnt have time to finish so i deleted it and was aiming to come back.
m
is one letter i missed
apologies.
there are dreams we have that can be from the subconscious mind
some dreams are from the Lord to convey a message of some sort, to encourage or guide
when you are awake you sound like you know that all this 'old stuff' got hammered into Christ s body on the cross. you sound like you are , when awake, choosing to agree with God s mind on sex.
if the dream is purely a subconscious thing, all it proves is that youre on a journey of sanctification.
your spirit was made perfect when you received Christ.
the mind is being re-newed as we learn Christ and who we are in Him
no -one comes out of the womb knowing everything.
main thing is that you went straight to your loving Lord about it, you clearly love Him
His blood is the answer
It will take all sense of defilement away
Christ has dealt with sin on the cross. He loves us to come to Him and share with Him and if we make a mistake , knowingly or inknowingly, His answer is always, love.
the blood, the cross. it is finished
no need to be afraid.
He is sanctifying your mind
if id had that dream, id take a scripture on the blood from one of pauls letters to us the church, and id soak in it , id give my mind that healing treatment.
the only other thing id say about is that sometimes sex with a strange woman can represent a seducing spirit. a religeous spirit is a seducing spirit, so its not alays about sex, but maybe what you re involved in and influenced by.
apologies again about the

Thank you for your responses. I have the ability to have lucid dreams, where I'm aware that I'm dreaming and I can do anything in the dream, such as fly or have super powers, without waking up. Unfortunately, in the past, I used lucid dreams to fulfill sexual desires, and I was completely aware of what I was doing. Like I said, before I repented, my mind was full of sexual immorality. If I were to tell you what kind of garbage I had in my mind, it would frighten and sicken you. That's how bad it was. But thanks to the Lord, who has cleaned my heart and mind, I do not struggle with this anymore. Thank you Jesus.

Amazing Grace
Amen! Praise the Lord!
This is what I used to have a few months ago. I used to wonder why I dreamt of men who approached me for sexual inercourse. I usually thought it only affected men but not women. But I was a victim as well. At times I was into it, accepting the intercourse with these men, who comes every night. Some are gorgeous and some scary. They had excellent features and sometimes look very model-type. At times I scared them off when I see ugly features.
I read about Incubus when a guy friend told me he used to be a victim of women incubus coming to him. I did not have any idea about it, seriously. I never knew what an Incubus was. I told my church pastor who prayed about it. He told me not to worry but Jesus will take control of my dreams and to pray before sleep and ask the Holy Spirit to shield us with the Blood Of Jesus. He said its Satan's games to mankind. I did my prayers and I had faith I will be alright.
I am not disturbed anymore. It was more of Satan's way of taking control of our body when we're not conscious. In normal life we are pure, and try to remain righteous, so in dreams, the enemy wants to devour or frighten us I suppose. Let the lion devour, but we have the Lion of Judah with us! I had to be constant in prayers of course, cause it takes fervent prayers.
Anyway, it was all over and I am sooo free from it.

After I became a Christian I used to dream beautiful women would tempt me, I'd alway reply "I can't I'm a Christian." Then I married the relationship soured my wife and I weren't getting along in any department and I started having the same dreams, then I'd reply "I can't I'm married."
Now I'm happily single again (please God let me stay this way!) and the battle of desire rages from time to time. Sometimes resulting in dreams of a sexual nature. I think it's just par for the course.

What is the main feeling in the dream? Do you get caught by your wife? What are you feeling in the dream, not when you wake up?
The feeling during the dream is more importantly than what is actually happening in the dream.
For instance, if your wife catches you in the dream, the main feeling in the dream may be disappointment. You feel your wife is disappointed in you, or you are 'letting her down', etc... this could be pointing to a real feeling you have during the day before the dream.
A couple of other questions to aid you in interpreting your dream....
What were you thinking about in the days before your dream...what has been on the back burner of your mind?
Many times we are asking God questions about things and thinking about things on and off throughout the day and He uses our dreams to counsel us. He really could be saying that you are in some way "cheating" on Him and not realizing it....or something similiar. The Holy Spirit will guide and lead you into all truth as you ask Him and seek Him for an answer.
Just know that you are NOT sinning in your dreams. The only other possibility of the dream is that your mind is reverting back to your past sometimes during your dreams and you can just ask the Lord to keep you from dreaming these things and it will stop.
Also, someone mentioned that demons could be causing the dreams...that's true...so just plead the blood of Christ over your mind before you go to sleep and that will stop too.
I love that you dream about flying and having power. The enemy has probably known about your potential for the Kingdom of God all along and has been trying to keep you from it. You can fly. You do have power in Christ. Jesus said that you will do even greater things than He did. Keep dreaming about flying and having power. You are a valuable, necessary part of the Body of Christ. Jesus has given you the ability to fly...to fight in the spiritual realm through your prayer...your prayers are powerful.
